RichP Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 For sale on MIGWeb: 20XE Tempted as it has the Coscast head. Can't hear it run, but no rush to put it in the car (can't afford all the other bits yet) so would plan to strip and rebuild anyway. Unwanted bits can be sold to recover a little of the money I guess. Any thoughts before plunge is taken? Cheers Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedsy Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Seems a bit expensive to me mate, ebay is your best bet. I have a few spare xe engines may sell you one!? Pm me if interested. Sedsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 That's normal price, not expensive. I paid £350 for mine without a coscast head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cast iron Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 built one of the first Nova's back in the 80s with a 2.litre XE. The cam belt snapped in the IOM following the Manx Swapped the head for a GM head and it felt sweeter and it was definitely quieter. I wouldnt nock the GM head and wouldnt pay more for the Coscast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichP Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Deal agreed pending collection arrangements. I have a feeling this is the start of a long road to financial ruin!! But hey ho - anything in the pursuit of power, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
